Coventry very light rail

[Sandy Lane]

Must be quite a profitable game as quite a few track workers in orange on site Sunday morning? Not seen the tram in Coventry recently though. Is it still at Dudley?

It was certainly being tested at Dudley about three weeks ago.

Thks for the update. I expect it will be moved to the Coventry demo track in the city centre quite soon?

Here is what I have found out so far about the Coventry demo track.

The prototype railcar will be in use at Dudley BCIMO on 17 May 2025 [family day].

It will then come over to the Coventry demo line and be set up for public running between 28 May and 18 June 2025.

For the demo runs each trip is limited to 17 passengers plus 1 wheelchair/pushchair apparently. Design capacity is max of 60 passengers total (seated plus standees).
